no idea, no idea and uh, no idea lol

dont think the are able to run much power, 330 i think is about the max unless you get it forged etc but i dont no what parts to use to do this cos the engine could well be different. well it is mounted the other side of the bay:)

think standard they are around 260bhp unlike the later cars which are 280

no idea what problems they suffer with

like lee said 260 bhp when it was new. But these are very light! No ayc as that came in on the 4 onwards. Engine wouldn't really want to go over 300ish. Piston's and rod's got better with every evo and wouldn't want to push a 4 much than 330 so a 2. . . . . . . but like a said these are light so a 300 bhp one would fly. And no driver's aid's so a real driver's car you could say. Hope this help's. Nick

no worries, yeah that look's nice and cheap! My 4 does alright with my mate's 7 which is running 50 or more bhp. Just due to lightest. Plus he's has got a couple of stone on me.lol.

look at this thread on mlr evo 1 rs for sale lovely car :)
thread number 357010 titled Evo 1 RS you will find it in for sale.



With a view to moving abroad with my job, I regrettably have to offer this up for sale. I bought this from Cossie1 on here last year and have done a couple of sprints in it and covered approx 1000 miles.

Clocks showing 89k KM and Docs to prove conversion. Done just shy of 60k miles.
Taxed until 30/4/2011
MOT until 28/4/2011

Extras fitted:

Factory fitted A/C

15" Std rims in anthracite with sticky 888's fitted
Spare set of racing hart 15"wheels
Yoko Parada spec2 tyres
Tein lowering springs
Alloy 2 point front strut brace

Walbro fuel pump (hard wired)
HKS panel filter in modded air box
2.5" Custom made stainless exhaust (turbo back)
Chipped Ecu (fitted in a socket)
Evo 3 turbo elbow
1.25 bar boost (dawes device)
Alloy Rad
New ACT 6 Puk Clutch rated for over 400bhp/400ftlb. (fitted approx 1500 miles ago)

300hp/300lbft approx

The car is in fantastic condition for it's age, however it is 18 years old so it isn't perfect. Few pics, not the best as it's been tucked up in the garage for months! I will take some more as required.
